Hey! It's Enrico Pallazzo!!!

In a really spooky "plate of shrimp" turn of events, I had purchased a copy of the Forbidden Planet Blu-ray on sale earlier this week. Upon hearing of the passing of Leslie Nielsen, I thought long and hard about whether I wanted to post a picture of him from the Zucker/Abrahams/Zucker projects or from Forbidden Planet, which has great personal significance to me (note the very title of this blog). In the end, I decided I should pay tribute to him as he would have liked to have been remembered:

FarewellLESLIE NIELSEN( 1 9 2 6 – 2 0 1 0 )

THANKS FOR ALL OF THE LAUGHTER
